I have already made some transactions with them which I paid fully, about to do the second, though they are yet to deliver the goods.

They want me to come for the fair and see a lot of other things

Oga Ade... how are you sure you are their only Nigerian customer? Na them tell u? If you have dealt with them before why are you skeptical of attending the fair? And if you want to go you only need to ask of chinese embassy ans apply. To shock you oga, i guess this is the i.v you are talking about... fyi, i was also invited to shock you again, i never bought anything from them but they responded to my RFQ before....

Mr. Man I am not competing with you. I asked them to tell me some of their Nigerian customers. They said I am the first and only one for now. It might be a different company that sent you the IV because the fair is a Kinda national so a lot of companies are participating .You sound as if we are in a competition. Are you sure you are Okay?

Where is the IV they sent you for the fair?

Check the file i attached earlier i also have email, ofcos u dont expect me to share that. Anyways, u need not be afraid if u really want to go, google chinese embassy lagos or abuja. Get compile ur docs i.v, bank statement, any previous evidence of transacting with any of these chinese coys, birth cert, intl passport, reg company docs (if going as a coy) n any other.

@ fortified , am sure it's canton fair , it's held October and April at guanzhou every year , I have attended many
Now to your question , apart from the general invite every company sends to countless customers all over the world , that invite is not enough , ask them for a proper invitation obtained by them from there local govt in China , if you do good volume of business with them they will obtain this for you , this is what u will take to the embassy , being a regular travel will help also ,if not u might be rejected with this invite

Alternative u can go thru the route of most ibo traders , get a travel agency with links with the Chinese embassy , they will charge anywhere btw 300 to 500k , not sure of current rate

As par the trip to canton fair , u will get the opportunity not only to see the company u transact with but other companies doing same or similar products , also you will get to see other products not related to what u do that might give u future ideas , it's a huge fair , I guarantee if u stay for 2months u won't cover the fair ground �, all the best

Btw nobody will buy your ticket or pay hotel bills

Carton fair is worth going for if you can afford it, let the coy get approval from their government or get a travel agency that will sort it out for you. It should be around 300k.

Please don't go because they invited you rather go because you are to attend the fair.

You will spend good money and make good connections that will fetch you good money later.

Please note that you can't stay back in China.

I wish you the very best Bro.
